Up in the air

Gosh, Friday has rolled around again and so I am here as usual with a Dies to Die For DT card using one of my newest MFT acquisitions, from the April release.

Yep, I couldn't resist another stamp set featuring cute animals, this time combined with hot air balloons!

My little framed scene was coming along nicely until I realised I needed something as a sky background, which was a problem because I am not very confident at creating sky/clouds as a background.

After faffing around with some DP which didn't feel quite right, I finally conceded that I was just going to have to put on my big girl pants and colour a cloudy backdrop with my Copics - eeeeeek!!

I used some cloud dies as a template and after all that worry, I am actually pretty pleased with how it turned out :-)

As you can see, I added the foreground balloon with foam pads and I also stacked up the letters apart from the very bottom section which rests on the frame...yep, that was quite fiddly to do!

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the thumbnails at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
